Heat Shock Proteins as Potential Indicators of Induced Stress in Nematodes
摘要
Heat shock proteins (HSPs) in all animals studied to date constitute potential indicators of stress, under various environmental conditions. The goal of this chapter is to show, for the first time, the suitability of the approach based on evaluation of the expression levels of heat shock proteins, as good indicators of stress induced in nematodes by the cultivation of resistant plant varieties or by other potential stressors.
